DET -5

They are alive and awake now-playing well. Great series by 76ers, but this game will be one of those DET grind it out, D-up, Big shot Chauncey games-which will eventually wear out the 76ers in the end.

DET 90
PHILLY 78

what is with this switch stuff... i think thats bs. Philly got beat pretty good in the last 2 games.....So I believe this game will be close and I suggest taking the points. ..I like the odds and i like philly at home to at least cover...wait for the line to go up...

Pistons take it and put this series in the books.

Hopefully as Rasheed says, the Pistons come out and play hard or "Our booty holes didn't get tight" as he said after last game's performance.

PISTONS -5

detroit is the better team....but i will take my hat off to philly becuz them young boys played with much effort and heart.....but detroit will win this game and cover.....simply put ,they are finally awake and philly had their chance early in the series....detroit wont let them gain momentum now, they are too much in control of this shit to let it slip away.....and since they are no longer sleep walking , i can finally say that im truly comfortable with picking DETROIT to cover.......DETROIT-UNDER

THE MOST LOGICAL PICK FOR TOMORROW IS EASY......DETROIT-UNDER....I LOOK FOR DETROIT TO CONTROL THE TEMPO, GRIND IT OUT,AND TAKE THEIR TIME ON OFFENSE....THEY KNOW THEY R IN CONTROL....WIN THIS GAME AND THEY WILL HAVE A COUPLE DAYS OFF TO RELAX ,GET REJUVENATED FOR THE NEXT SERIES....AND SPEND A LIL TIME WITH FAMILY B4 THEY HEAD BACK TO WORK......DETROIT-UNDER .......

ALSO HERE IS AN IMPORTANT TREND TO THINK ABOUT......

Under is 8-0 in DET last 8 games following a SU win of more than 10 points.

I like PHI to push this one back to DET for gm7 Sat.
 
The under is the bet as nightridah said this should be a close one.
 
PHI +5.5

If you take a look at the score board for Game4 and 5, Detroit had a huge 1st and 3rd quarter, outscored anywhere from 6 to 18pts in one quater. 2nd and 4th quaters were pretty tight both ways.
 
I see detroit will again have two huge quarters in Game6, and detroit to win by double digits.
 
Detroit -5 for me.

Detroit is back on track... that bit that nightridah posted about the pistons being inspired from seeing old man mcdyess dive on a loose ball was pretty spot on, because it was in that game that the switch turned back on... detroit started wanting it again.  Last game chauncey found his J and the whole squad just started gelling again.  They are a much more talented, experienced and deep team and will definitely win the series and I think they do it here, because the Magic are all done and rested and they don't want to let them rest alone any more. 

This is a weathered talented team that can play on any court and play their game independant of home/away and as CK always used to say... always take detroit in the big game.  Even if they some how don't win here, they are a lock at home and I will double up on them there, but I don't see that being necessary. 

Once again, I will roll with the wisdom of lord of the totals, aka nightridah, as the under missed by 1 point and Philly always plays to the strengths of their oponents when it comes to totals (low scoring games against defensive teams, high scoring against run and gun squads).

DET -5
Under 178.5 (waiting on this one might get a better total with early money all over the over)

This fact that this is the only game of the night has me worried as everybody will ride Detriot. 
 
But, DET seems to have woken up to the fact that these playoff games DO matter.  They've been used to the past month of sleeping at the wheel with games that made no difference.  Being on top for long sometimes makes you sleepy.
 
DET is up now, same for BOS
 
Riding the winnings from NO, LAL, and NO again - stupid qrt bets from last night, + MLB: lal vs laa parlay on under and laa ML:
 
risking 900 to win 600
 
DET -3 (buying 2)
 
The line will be -6.5 by tomorrow.
